Chapter 497 Invincible Armada

North Sea Fleet, Zangjin Bay, Invincible Fleet, Moriente City...

Everyone present was startled by Malek's proposal. The conference room was silent. Everyone was either frowning and thinking, or you looked at me, and I looked at you, and no one was making a sound. Lorist also jumped and began to think carefully.

Malek's proposal was really unexpected. Even Lorist had never thought of using the North Sea Fleet to destroy the Invincible Fleet in Zangjin Bay and then boarding the 6th Morent City. This was not because Lorist's vision and thinking were problematic, mainly because the Invincible Fleet of the Commercial Alliance's invincible Fleet has been too famous for a hundred years and has never failed.

Originally, the Commercial Alliance established this fleet, named Alliance Fleet, mainly to prevent pirates from attacking Moriente City and protect the safety of the Golden Bay. Then it gradually evolved into protecting the security of the sea trade routes that protect the Golden Coastline in the southern sunny waters of Galint Ada 6, clearing up pirates along the way, and cracking down on and suppressing the maritime fleet's behavior of coastal areas to seize trade routes. Thirty years later, this fleet was known as the invincible fleet because of its unsuccessful maritime battles.

Thinking back to the Civil War of the Crison Empire, the merchants of the Commercial Alliance Parliament believed that there was no enemy and demanded the reduction of the armed forces of the Commercial Alliance. They reduced the city defense force and reduced the cost of armed forces. However, when they wanted to cut the scale of the Invincible Fleet, they were suppressed by the seven giants in charge of the Commercial Alliance. Because the Seven giants knew very well that it would be possible to temporarily recruit the war without the City Defense Force, but reducing the scale of the Invincible Fleet means that the Commercial Alliance would lose a great influence on the coastal countries around the Gold Coastline in the Sunshine Seas of the Greater 6.

Is this possible to let the North Sea Fleet destroy the Invincible Fleet? A question mark appeared in Lorist's heart. Senbawood claimed that the North Sea Fleet was invincible, and Lorist also believed it, but the main purpose of saying this was to enhance the honor and confidence of the fleet personnel. The so-called invincible premise is that the enemy fleet against the North Sea Fleet is only two or three times the size of the enemy fleet, so that the power of the bronze artillery equipped by the North Sea Fleet can be maximized.

But the Invincible Fleet of the Commercial Alliance is different. More than a hundred years of exhibitions have given this fleet a large enough scale and rich experience in maritime combat, as well as countless elite soldiers and generals. Lorist studied in Morient City for ten years and heard many stories about the Invincible Fleet defeating the enemy and destroying pirates. In his heart, he never thought of taking the initiative to attack the Invincible Fleet.

How to say it? The purpose of Lorist's establishment of the North Sea Fleet was to ensure the safety of the sailing routes of the cursed coastline in the northern seas, to become the overlord of the northern seas, to protect the safety of the seas of Shilovas, Haneyabada Islands and the Xiayislamic Kingdom, and to safeguard the family's commercial interests in these islands. He did not think about competing with the commercial alliance for the gold coastline in the southern sunny seas and to be enemies with the Invincible Fleet.

This is not because Lorist has no ambition or short-sightedness, but because Gerintia is a huge Big 6, and the six that can be reached by sea can also be reached on the ground, which is nothing more than the length of time spent. Even if Lorist invests heavily in the maritime fleet, it is really invincible in the world and dominates the entire Big 6's waters, the Commercial Alliance can still use its huge commercial influence to make coastal countries prohibit transactions with the Norton family's maritime caravans.

This is not the earth in Lorist's previous life. The Seven Great Six and there are countless archipelagos. Gerint Asia 6 is a large area, with only a few archipelagos. Using maritime power can't deal with a coastal country at all, because you cannot block the foreign transportation of this country. When the coastal countries cut off the supply of the fleet, unless pirates go to plunder, they can only change to supply of the coastal country. After becoming a pirate once, all coastal countries will treat you as pirates. The fleet will never find a supply point, but will attract attacks wherever it appears.

Without enough profits, vigorously exerting the family's maritime power is equivalent to throwing golden gold coins into the water. Lorist was sober that he decided to reorganize the huge maritime army and reorganize the North Sea Fleet to only protect the family's maritime interests. He had a tacit understanding with the Chicked Chamber of Commerce in the Commercial Alliance, split the sea into two, the Chicked Chamber of Commerce in the south, and the Gui Nortons in the north.

The southern waters are calm and sunny. The northern waters are turbulent and turbulent. From a military perspective, the Norton family's North Sea Fleet and the Commercial Alliance's Invincible Fleet represent two extremes of the maritime fleet. The North Sea Fleet focuses on mobility and strong long-range attack power. However, the Invincible Fleet conducts close combat with numbers and superior forces to achieve victory in maritime operations.

The Invincible Fleet will not enter the northern waters because the warships they own are not suitable for sailing under strong winds and waves. The North Sea Fleet will not easily enter the southern waters. One is that the sea conditions are unknown, and the other is that they have unintentionally offended the Chicked Chamber of Commerce that dominates the southern waters. The only intersection between the two sides is that the Chicked Chamber of Commerce and the Peterson Chamber of Commerce of the Commercial Alliance every year sends fleets to Shilovas Island to purchase a large amount of spices and daily necessities.

In a sense, these two chambers of commerce only regarded the Norton family as a purchasing channel for purchases. However, since the Kingdom of Andinak began to attack and regain several provinces occupied by the Commercial Alliance three years ago, these two chambers of commerce have never sent fleets to trade. After all, this time the Norton family was still the main force of the offensive, and the Visia Chamber of Commerce, one of the seven giants of the Commercial Alliance, destroyed the Visia Chamber of Commerce, and the Commercial Alliance has already fought undeclaredly and officially became enemies.

The North Sea Fleet has sixteen main lightning warships, namely warships equipped with bronze artillery, followed by twenty-eight large armed warships and fifty-six medium armed fast schooners, and twenty-six small armed patrol ships, divided into two squadrons and an archipelago patrol fleet. The two squadrons also each have a merchant fleet composed of more than twenty ocean-going merchant ships. This is because the North Sea Fleet is also responsible for transporting daily necessities and trading goods and spices to the Haneyabada Islands and the Xia Islamic Kingdom. Every year, the two squadrons escort merchant ships to the two archipelagos.

If you think seriously, the North Sea Fleet has only sixteen lightning warships that really have combat capabilities, and the other large and medium-sized armed warships are just transport ships. Just like Lorist brings the Rock Legion back to the North from Shilovas Island by sea this time. If you have a naval battle, the tasks undertaken by these warships are nothing more than transporting supplies, saving lives and warding prisoners, and not rushing in the front like the sixteen lightning warships.

However, compared with the Invincible Fleet of the Commercial Alliance, the number of warships of the North Sea Fleet is too thin. If the Invincible Fleet does not enter the northern waters, the North Sea Fleet can still show off its power. But now the North Sea Fleet is going to Zangjin Bay to take the initiative to attack the Invincible Fleet and cooperate with family armed forces to attack Morent City. That is their home court. Thinking about the huge scale and overwhelming number of warships that the Invincible Fleet has, the more Lorist thinks, the less sure he feels.

"Tagher, let me introduce the situation of the Invincible Fleet of the Commercial Alliance to you first. Genorio, go to the archives to check the records of the Xinying messaging. When will your father arrive in Rage Bear City to participate in the New Year's celebration?" Lorist spoke.

"Yes, Your Highness." Georio pushed the door and left.

Tager found information about the Invincible Fleet from a large stack of data files and began to read to everyone: "Invincible Fleet, which has been established for 136 years. From the beginning of it was more than 20 merchant ships to the current four squadrons, it has more than 1,000 armed warships and large merchant ships. Its sphere of influence ranges from Zangjin Bay to the southernmost end of the Great Six, is the most important transportation and armed force of the Commercial Alliance at sea.

The Invincible Armada has a total of 43,000 personnel, and the rest are hired sailors and crew members. The Commercial Alliance allocates 2 million Jinfude every year to maintain the operation of the Invincible Armada. At the same time, the Invincible Armada undertakes the transportation of materials to the coastal countries of the Golden Coastline of the Sunshine Sea. In this process, another fifth of the profits of the Invincible Armada belong to the fleet. In addition, the Invincible Armada needs to be responsible for combating pirates in the southern waters and suppressing the sea fleet formed by the coastal countries of the Golden Coastline of the Sunshine Seas. There was once a merchant fleet formed by aristocrats from two coastal countries who encountered pirates at sea, and both men and ships were not suspected to be the work of the Invincible Armada, but there was no evidence.

The Chicked Chamber of Commerce, one of the seven giants in the Commercial Alliance, dominated the Chicked Chamber of Commerce. They occupied 40% of the profits of the Invincible Fleet, and the other six giants each accounted for 10%. The Chicked Chamber of Commerce is known as the overlord of the Southern Seas. In addition to having the dominant advantage in the Invincible Fleet, this Chamber of Commerce also has an armed fleet and several merchant fleets. It is said that one of the four sea ships sailing in the Southern Seas belongs to the Chicked Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that they almost ruled the shipping and trade routes in the entire southern seas.

The Invincible Fleet is divided into four squadrons, each with two castle-shaped giant ships. This giant ship is named Sepunime, which means the castle of the God of the Sea. In fact, a Sepunime is indeed a moving castle on the sea because it can build up to three thousand sea stormtroopers. Once entangled by a Sepunime, it means the end of the battle and the occupation of the warship. However, although the Sepunime battleship is extremely huge, it does not move quickly. This is also the main reason why the opponent turns around and flees when he sees the shadow of Sepunime in countless naval battles.

In addition to the two Sepnimes, each squadron also has more than 50 large ocean-going armed warships and medium-sized armed fast warships, and there are nearly 100 small fast-impact warships. This small fast-impact warship is the executor of the main tactics of the Invincible Fleet. Their ships have sharp spear-like metal collision angles. In naval battles, they use the flexibility and speed of these small warships to hit enemy ships and slow down the enemy ships. When Sepnimes approaches, the enemy ships can only surrender or resist and eventually be occupied.

Sometimes these small impact warships will become fire ships, using sails and water to load fire-driven objects to catch fire and attack enemy ships. As long as these small impact warships are hit by the enemy ships, they cannot escape. The Invincible Fleet can use large and medium-sized armed warships to encircle and attack all the enemies. This is also the bait tactics that the Invincible Fleet is better at using. Those small impact warships are the bait they use.

Each squadron of the Invincible Fleet has 10,000 regular fleet armed personnel, which is within the organization. If the hired sailors and crew members of the transport merchant fleet are added, the number of each squadron can reach more than 20,000 to 30,000. Every three months, the Invincible Fleet will sail to the southern waters, and a squadron will also return. However, a garrison squadron will always be left in the Zangjin Bay, which will send more than ten large, medium and small armed warships to patrol the waters throughout the waters..."

Eh Lorist was stunned: "Tagel, what do you mean is that the Invincible Fleet is not all left in the Zangjin Bay, but there are only two squadrons at most, and the other two squadrons will be in the southern waters?"

Tager shook his head: "Your Highness, what I just said is the normal situation of the Invincible Armada during peacetime. Now the Commercial Alliance and our Kingdom of Andinak are in war. The Commercial Alliance is constantly mobilizing reinforcements from southern provinces and transporting those reinforcements to Morent City quickly through sea transportation. Now that the communication and traffic between Morent City and us are cut off, we cannot get detailed information from Morent City at present. However, it is speculated that if so many southern reinforcements are transported to Morent City, the Invincible Armada will definitely participate in it."

Loris nodded and was about to speak, but he saw Georio pushing the door in and reporting: "Your Highness, I have checked the Xinying's messaging record. The Admiral of the North Sea Fleet, Lord Senbawood, set sail from Shilovas Island five days ago. It is estimated that he will arrive in Beihai City tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and will arrive in Wuxiong City three days later."

Lorist smiled and touched Genorio's head: "Silly boy, that's your father, why do you say so formally?"

Georio said unconvincedly: "Your Highness, you are discussing business matters now. What you said cannot be abolished for personal gain."

"Haha..." Lorist laughed, grabbed his head again, and then said to the people in the conference room: "To be here first today, everyone is tight, and we will consider the resolution on whether to send troops to reinforce His Majesty the King for a few more days. There is also the strategy of Marek's proposal to attack Morient City by sea. I will discuss it when Senbawood arrives to see if the North Sea Fleet has the ability to make a decision. That's it."

Three days later, Senbawood, who arrived in Raging Bear City in a strong wind and snow, appeared in Lorist's study before he could clean up the outer cloak and the snow marks under his winter hat. After listening to what Lorist said about Malek's proposal, Senbawood shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, I promise to destroy the entire Invincible Armada!"
